A good remake of Sahara with Broderick Crawford leading the cast of competent if not name performers. Crawford was still in the glow of his two star quality performances in All The King's Men and Born Yesterday.
Broderick Crawford is a cavalry sergeant leading a patrol in the Arizona desert and they're attacked. As in Sahara, the patrol settles in for a siege at a waterhole, where the numerically superior Indians surround them, but are being dehydrated for lack of water. It's a test of wills and if you saw Sahara, you know how it will come out.
Young Johnny Stewart as the Comanche boy Little Knife is in the second of the two feature films he did for Columbia. He had a good screen presence and God only knows why he didn't become a major star.
Good B western with a quality cast.
